Red Velvet Peppermint Brownies

I’m in love with these red velvet peppermint brownies. This recipe is total perfection with a brownie mix and red velvet cake mix put together!

Red Velvet Peppermint Brownies

The cream cheese frosting on top really makes these delicious and the crushed candy canes give them a delicious minty flavor. If candy canes aren’t your thing, you can always replace it with sprinkles or just stick with the frosting alone.
